I stop whenever I want is the new single by Sethuavailable from June 26, 2026 For Carousel Records. The song represents the first extract of the Savonese artist's next album and the third chapter of the saga Side effects.
After releasing the first two episodes exclusively on Instagram, Sethu he now also brings the project to streaming platforms with a song that marks a new step in his musical evolution.
Sethu previews the new album with “I stop whenever I want”
The song is based on a dance rhyme that accompanies the desire to screw everything up. I stop whenever I want it arises from a drum rhythm and develops around a precise contrast: on the one hand, the need to feel free and let go; on the other, the possibility of stopping by being able to say – precisely – “I stop when I want”.
As in much of his production, this time too Sethu works together with his twin brother Jizproducer and collaborator of all the main stages of his artistic journey.
“I stop when I want is a song born from a drum rhythm, written jointly by me and my brother Jiz. The piece plays a lot on the contrast between a dance rhythm and a reflective text: I wanted to express the need to feel free to screw everything up and, indeed, to be able to stop whenever I want“, says the singer.
“This track explores sounds that are completely new to me, which reflect my current musical evolution. I always like to challenge myself and experiment with new styles. The song is the first single from my new album, as well as the third chapter of the Collateral Effects saga“, he concludes Sethu.
The saga “Side effects”, between Instagram and streaming
To present the new recording project, Sethu chose a different formula than usual. His new single is the third chapter of the saga Side effectsbuilt through publications on different channels.
The first two chapters, Paroxetine published on May 27th And Rai Uno released on June 10thwere distributed exclusively on Instagram. I stop whenever I want instead it represents the first song also available on digital platforms, thus expanding the story of the project.
This decision arises from the desire to tell one's story without following traditional promotional logic, using social media as a creative and narrative space even before being a communication tool.
